Sarvi replied to the topic tips for vintage patterns? in the forum off topic 9 years ago
Wow, that’s a lot of great info, thank you Nicole! I know Gertie from Gertie’s Blog for Better Sewing (not sure of the exact name) is very keen on vintage as well, and might have some additional tips. Off to peep at Nicole’s handiwork 🙂

Sarvi replied to the topic Thread resurrection in the forum about the forums 9 years ago
What an interesting question! I don’t think it’s a huge issue either way, and there hasn’t been any prior discussion about it, but it’s very thoughtful of you to ask.
Speaking only for myself, I’d say that if you think your question would fit well within an existing discussion (and you can find it, sometimes it’s hard to turn up a thread you know…[Read more]

Tamara replied to the topic Scallops and long dress in the forum oliver + s: bubble dress 9 years ago
Linda, I used the bubble dress in the smallest size for my baby and when she was a newborn it came way past her knees – more towards her ankles actually- she was only 50cm at birth, if this gives you an indication of length.
It is the perfect little dress for a newborn.

They sound terrific Nicole!
I have the corduroy teaparty dress still to make but may have to put it aside to get on with a pair of dress pants, vest and shirt for Noah to wear to Chloe’s christening.
Then eventhough I did find something rtw, I want to use one of the butterick Lisette patterns to make and outfit for myself.

Tamara replied to the topic News and Current Affairs in the forum off topic 9 years ago
I love school holidays also. It means not having to travel in to town everyday. We have been having a few issues with our bus driver and so I have resorted to taking the kids to school. On one hand it beats having to be on the bus for an hour and a half from 7.10am but on the other hand it takes a huge toll on fuel and car wear and tear. My kids…[Read more]

We’re starting a new round of work to do performance testing and tweaking of the site to address some of these issues with load time. I’m hoping you’ll all see performance improvements over coming weeks as we make some changes behind the scenes.
Yes, @motherof5, the way the forums work is that if you are not logged in you get a cached version of…[Read more]

I have finished four of the nurses capes but they are quite small so I have decided to make matrons using the LTTS cape pattern in red wool.

Nicole replied to the topic topstitching on bodice necessary? in the forum oliver + s: bubble dress 9 years ago
@Linda, I am pretty sure I added it afterwards…. I *think* I sewed the edges and the top but left the bottom free for movement.
Those dresses went to Humble, Texas. 🙂 -
with love Heidi replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 9 years ago
I have to take my machine in for repairs 🙁 I got thread caught around the balance wheel and can’t get it out.
I’ll be sewing on the overlocker and coverstitch for a few days. -

Nicole replied to the topic tips for vintage patterns? in the forum off topic 9 years ago
That is adorable!
I sew with vintage patterns and have a very large stash. The instructions are usually pretty good, they generally instruct you to clip seams and under stitch and often have lots of notches to help match things up. They often don’t tell you when to neaten your seams, watch out for that.
The sizing can be very slim (a reason why I…[Read more] -
Nicole replied to the topic Scallops and long dress in the forum oliver + s: bubble dress 9 years ago
Linda, thank you and congratulations!
I made that dress in a quilting cotton so it was a little stiffer anyway but I did tweak the top of my scallops. If you look at my tute, I pressed the top flat and this seem to help the scallop stay out.http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2011/01/bubble-dress-part-five.html
As for the longer…[Read more]
